Welcome to the University of Texas at Dallas. We have prepared the information below to help you better understand how to do business with the University.
All invoices submitted to Accounts Payable require a PO in order to be paid promptly and accurately. Invoices without a PO number included generally take longer to pay and will be paid only when it can be confirmed as a legitimate charge. UT Dallas policy states obligations of the University funds can only be made via a Purchase Order or a University-issued credit card (One Card).
If you receive any orders purporting to be from UT Dallas from an email address that does not end in @utdallas.edu, they are fraudulent. Do not fulfill any orders which are not from that domain name, and please consider filing a complaint at www.ic3.gov. 
You are always welcome to email purchasing@utdallas.edu to verify the legitimacy of an order. Thank you!

Supplier Management maintains the university’s supplier database, an electronic means of storing information about suppliers who provide goods and services to the university. A supplier record must exist in the supplier database before a procurement transaction can be completed for the supplier. Therefore, a W9 is required to be submitted by the supplier before purchase orders are considered complete.
All suppliers that provide any software are subject to a risk assessment performed by the Information Security Office.
All invoices are paid net 30, unless an early pay discount is offered.
All new solicitations are posted on the Electronic State Business Daily website.
UT Dallas notifies vendors listed on the Centralized Master Bidding List (CMBL) when opportunities are posted. The CMBL is the master database used by the State of Texas purchasing entities to develop a mailing list for suppliers to be considered to receive bids based on products or services they can provide.
